svinoryl already spoke out on the topic with the author's inherent directness, if you haven't seen,

in your own words:
FED снижала ставки, that's why the stock went up, but when the rates reached zero the first time, the aces of the world street came up with hedge funds to make money not on stupidity, but on the blunt-fall and the blunt-side. only the smartest know, what stock market уже не будет расти никогда. so your whole management industry, this is sheer deception and uselessness.
